A few plays later, after Stephen Curry was called for a shooting foul, Green approached Acosta and began yelling at him. Acosta issued a technical foul, and when Green didn\u2019t stop, Acosta gave him another, ending his night at the 8:24 mark of the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need him. He knows that. We all know that,\u201d Curry said of Green. \u201cSo, whatever we need to do to keep him on the floor and be available, that\u2019s what\u2019s got to happen. Especially at this point in the year.

During the subsequent timeout, Curry paced back and forth while shaking his head. Cameras caught Curry visibly emotional as he pulled his jersey over his face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know how important this part of the season is in our ability to get into a rhythm and secure a play-in opportunity,\u201d Curry said of what was going through his head at that moment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_582828\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Banchero.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582828\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Paolo Banchero Photo Courtesy: AP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to give ourselves self-inflicted wounds.
